122. Jesus, Thou Glorious Priest and King
L.M.
by I. Watts
Jesus, Thou glorious Priest and King!
Accept the tribute that we bring;
Accept the feeble song of praise
Which here on earth Thy people raise.
May every minute as it flies
Augment our love, increase our joys,
Till we are brought to sing Thy name
At the glad supper of the Lamb.
And soon the months will roll away,
And quickly come the nuptial day,
When Thou, the Lamb, shalt take Thy throne,
And fully there Thy church shalt own.
The gladness of that happy day,
In this sad world’s our strength and stay;
Then let not faith forsake its hold,
Nor comfort sink, nor love grow cold.
“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.” (Hebrews 6:19)
“For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:5)
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” (2 Corinthians 5:7)
“For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” (Romans 15:4)
“And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” (Matthew 24:12)
